WILLIAM SCI-IARFHAUSEN, OF SPENCER, IDAHO.

STOVE-LID.

Application led May 12,

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM SCHARF- HAUSEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident oi Spencer, in the county of Fremont and State of Idaho, have invented certain newA and useful Improvements in Stove- Lids, of which the following is a specication.

My invention is an improvement in stove lids, and has for its object to provide a lid of the character specified, wherein means is provided in connection with the lid for supplying steam to the re boX, above the burning fuel, in quantities such as to insure conservative and eiiicient combustion.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a section of a portion of a stove provided with the improved lid.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the lid.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view. I

Fig. 4 is a vertical section of another embodiment of the invention.

In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the improved lid comprises a ring 1 which is adapted to seat in a rabbet 2 in the stove hole 3 of a stove top 4, and this ring has a lift receiving recess 5 of usual construction for engagement by a lifter.

The internal opening 6 of the ring is beveled as shown, and a disk 7 having beveled edges is seated within the opening. This disk has a lift receiving recess 8, and by removing the disk, access may be had to the casing 9 which is supported below and about Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 26, 1.921. 1920. serial ne. 380,717.

the internal opening of the ring, the said casing depending from the ring.

rIhis casing 9 is designed to receive water to be evaporated by the heat in the ire box, to furnish moisture to the lire. rlhe casing has discharge openings 10 near the top for the steam and vapor, the said openings being arranged in an annular series.

In Fig. 4 there is shown a modified form, the ring l1 having the depending casing 12, and the disk 13 similar to the ring, casing and disk of Fig. 1. The casing also has the annular series of openings, but in each of these openings there is arranged a nozzle or nipple 14.

In operation with water in the casing of either construction, the heat will evaporate the water, which will pass out through the openings 10, or the nipples 14, thus providing a means for increasing the efficiency of the stove, and the conserving of fuel.

I claim:

A stove lid, consisting of a ring having its edge adapted to seat within the rabbeted opening of the stove, and having an integral cup-shaped casing dependent from the same and co-aXial with the ring and spaced apart outwardly from the opening through the ring, said casing having radial discharge openings adjacent to the ring, and the edge of the opening of the ring being beveled from above outwardly and inwardly, and a disk having` a beveled edge seated in the opening.
